"Where entities refuse to take a license from a pool offering FRAND terms and supported by a critical mass of licensors and licensees, it creates a structural imbalance."
"Sisvel's rates are routinely confirmed to be compliant with the Patent Owner's FRAND obligations by courts; in one recent example, the Munich Regional Court's 7th Civil Chamber in a case between Sisvel's patent owner Wilus and Asus has confirmed Sisvel's Wi-Fi 6 pool rates to be FRAND."
"On February 3, 2026, Sisvel took a significant step forward in advancing transparency through its collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This initiative integrates verified SEP data into WIPO's PATENTSCOPE platform."
"At the core of this initiative is essentiality verification. Typically, patent owners submit their patents, along with supporting materials such as claim charts mapping patent claims to relevant technical standards, to an independent evaluator."
Sisvel emphasizes transparency in the standard-essential patent ecosystem, confirmed by courts regarding its FRAND obligations. The Munich Regional Court validated Sisvel's Wi-Fi 6 pool rates as FRAND. Sisvel's website provides access to royalty structures and essential patent lists. A collaboration with WIPO on February 3, 2026, integrates verified SEP data into the PATENTSCOPE platform, enhancing accessibility. Essentiality verification involves independent evaluators assessing patent claims against technical standards, ensuring only positively reviewed patents are published, thus improving the overall transparency and usability of patent information.
